Join us on Wednesday, May 26 for a Zoom happy hour to get to know some of our Latin American science communication colleagues. We hope this will be the first of a series of meetups leading up to the World Conference of Science Journalists in Medellín next spring. This initial event will be an opportunity for people to get to know each other and to bring ideas for future online programs aimed at forging connections between our communities.
